Salahudin Ayubi / Muhammad Al-Fateh
INTRODUCTION
SALAHUDIN AYUBI
Salahudin Ayubi, better known in the Western world as Saladin, was a Kurdish Muslim, who became the first Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He led Islamic opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant. At the height of his power, he ruled over Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, and Yemen.
He led the Muslims against the Crusaders and eventually recaptured Palestine from the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem after his victory in the Battle of Hattin. As such, he is a notable figure in Kurdish, Arab, and Muslim culture. Saladin was a strict adherent of Sunni Islam and a mystical disciple of the Qadiri Sufi order. His chivalrous behavior was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the siege of Kerak in Moab, and despite being the nemesis of the Crusaders he won the respect of many of them, including Richard the Lionheart; rather than becoming a hated figure in Europe, he became a celebrated example of the principles of chivalry.
MUHAMMAD AL-FATEH
Al-Fateh (March 30, 1432 – May 3, 1481) "the Conqueror" in Ottoman Turkish, or, in modern Turkish, Fatih Sultan Mehmet in early modern Europe was Sultan of the Ottoman Empire for a short time from 1444 to September 1446, and later from February 1451 to 1481. At the age of 21, he conquered Constantinople and brought an end to the Byzantine Empire, absorbing its administrative apparatus into the Ottoman state. Al-Fateh continued his conquests in Asia, with the Anatolian reunification, and in Europe, as far as Belgrade Al-Fateh is regarded as a national hero in Turkey, and his name is given to Istanbul's Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge.
As briefly introduced above, both Salahudin Ayubi and Muhammad Al-Fateh are brave muslim leaders. They are true muslims with extensive religious background and are very successful. We will be comparing and elaborate more on their achievements and how they realize them.

Other achievements and how they dealt with them.
Sultan Muhammad

For seven weeks in the spring of 1453, the army of the Ottoman sultan, Mehmed II, “The Conqueror,” which numbered well over 100,000, assaulted the triple ring of land walls that had protected the city for centuries.

Wave after wave of Ottoman troops struck at the gaps in the defenses that had been cut by the guns, quickly overwhelmed the defenders, and raced into the city to loot and pillage for the three days that Mehmed had promised as their reward for victory.…

    Richard the Lionheart and Saladin are known as some of the greatest leaders and warriors to fight in The Crusades. The book Warriors of God, by James Reston describes these two men throughout their battles in the Third Crusade. Many portrayals of these two men are either ones that make them look like the kindest of any of the Crusaders or some of the meanest, most gruesome men to fight. James Reston does a very good job of finding a medium between the two and gives the reader a good understanding of what these two great leaders were like without being biased.…

    The Byzantine Empire, known for being the most powerful empire of its time, intrigued the 19-year-old leader Mehmed II. In 1451, Mehmed, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire, immediately began preparation to conquer Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Roman Empire.
